Avis Dannenberg Obituary

Avis Dannenberg
August 27, 1927 - March 14, 2024
Avis Dannenberg, age 96, of Bridgeport's Mozaic Senior Life, previously of Stratford, CT, peacefully passed away surrounded by her loving family on March 14, 2024. She was the cherished and devoted wife of Saul Dannenberg for 61 years, who predeceased her in 2009. Born in Bridgeport, CT, on August 27, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Mae Plushkin and Dave Krentzman.
Avis is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Todd Holson of New Canaan, her son, Howard Dannenberg, and his partner Connie Henrici of Sandy Hook, and her son-in-law, Dieter Kita. She was predeceased by her beloved daughter, Deborah E. Kita, formerly of Blackstone, MA. Avis leaves behind 6 adoring grandchildren, Sarie Leide, Josh Kita, Daniel Kita, Aaron Dannenberg, Laura Holson Boswerger, and Alexandra Holson Walker, and 11 great-grandchildren, Johnny Leide, Sofia Kita, Rachel Leide, William Kita, Brent Kita, Max Walker, Jackie Boswerger, Blake Kita, Lillian Kita, Sam Boswerger, and Jamie Walker.
Avis was a longstanding member of Congregation Rodeph Sholom and served as a past president of Pioneer Women. She was an active member of Hadassah and a Life Member of the Jewish Home Women's Auxiliary. Additionally, she participated in Oronoque's Village Players and Funseekers. Avis enjoyed playing tennis with her husband and Canasta with friends. An avid reader, she could often be found with a book in hand during the late afternoon. She was also a fervent supporter of the UCONN Women's Basketball team. However, her greatest joy came from her family, whom she adored beyond measure.
In her final years, Avis found comfort and companionship at Mozaic Senior Life, where she formed lasting friendships and embraced a new chapter in her life. The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Siebert House for their unwavering love, support, care, and kindness.
Graveside services will be held at Agudas Achim Cemetery, 250 Reid Street, Fairfield, CT on Friday, March 15th at 1 p.m. Shiva will be on Sunday, March 17th from 2 to 5 p.m. at the home of Karen & Todd Holson, New Canaan, CT.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Avis's memory to Mozaic Senior Life, 4200 Park Ave., Bridgeport, CT 06604 or The Deborah E. Kita Memorial Fund, Hopedale Public Schools Business Office, 25 Adin St., Hopedale, MA 01747.
